Oh, Marta, don't ever say that (about those flashy full page ads). They are, indeed, our bread and butter, and our peanut butter and jelly . . . and the reason why we only charge $18 for a year's subscription. If nothing else, try to appreciate them for their layout, photography and other esthetic values.
As for Quark/Pagemaker, about 10 years ago our printer insisted that we make the move from Pagemaker to Quark. Quark was much more advanced in its ability to produce error-free Postscript files, handle trapping (the art of turning a grid of dots into a clean- looking dividing line where two different colors meet on a page) and do several other behind-the-scenes processes that allowed printers to handle digital files efficiently. Quark quickly became the dominant page layout program for magazines, ad agencies and most of the publishing world. Now, Adobe InDesign appears to be headed towards that same dominance, partly because Quark was slow to upgrade to a usable OS X version, and because of InDesign's built-in compatibility with other Adobe programs like Acrobat, Distiller, Photoshop and Illustrator. Our October issue will be the first that we've designed completely in InDesign. If all goes well, it will be our design platform for the foreseeable future.
